BALTIMORE (WBFF) — The Blue Angels have officially landed in Baltimore, ahead of this weekend’s air show during Fleet Week.

On Wednesday the flight team’s aircraft were on display at Martin State Airport, in Middle River.

One pilot says that while being a member of the Blue Angels is an honor itself, seeing the impact they make on their young fans is what makes it worthwhile.

“You walk out to the crowd line and you look at the young children and look at the smiles on their faces and the looks in their eyes and you can tell that they are genuinely, genuinely excited to be here and it gives them inspiration, maybe not to join the military but just to go out and go do something great,” Lt. Tyler Davies said.
